"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 26 (Week 52) One year!

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. Alongside me are the hostesses with the mostestes, Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Girls, it's our one-year anniversary!"

Renee Young: "I couldn't be prouder to be on the broadcast team for the one-year celebration!"

Melissa Santos: "The greatest women's wrestling program on the planet will celebrate its first birthday in style!"

Miceli: "That's right! We have three huge title matches this week! The Women's Championship is on the line! The Tag Team Championship is on the line! The Bantamweight Tag team Championship will be defended right now! Plus, we'll see a retrospective video, recapping our first year, to close out the program! Let's get to it!"

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Tag Team Championship ~ The Pirate Princess & Chelsea Diamond vs. "The Bullet Club"--Jessie McKay & "Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon with Stephanie McMahon, "Under Boss" Mio Shirai, & Yellow Barbie (Referees Summer Rae & Nikkon Lee)

McMahon petitioned for the match due to "BC" being in the finals of the Bantamweight Championship tournament, but never getting a title match afterward. Television Champion Becky Lynch was McKay's tournament partner. However, General Manager AJ Lee mandated another Bantamweight contender from the group be chosen to replace her, since Femme Fatales rules state that no one woman may hold more than one championship at a time. Leon was chosen as the replacement and was seeking her second tag team championship. Lee also placed Nikkon Lee as the second referee to combat "Bullet Club" member Summer Rae, whose contract was re-structured to allow her to referee any match involving members of "BC." This was a hard-fought contest. The new champions looked superb in this one. Chelsea hasn't missed a beat since coming back from injury and The Pirate Princess is the hottest thing in the promotion since debuting. The bout ended very controversially, which is a stalwart of "Bullet Club" matches lately. However, "BC" did not necessarily factor into the finish, try as they may. McMahon and company did attempt interference, to varying degrees, throughout the match. Referee Lee's presence helped thwart most of that. Nearly nine minutes in, Io Shirai of "Joshi Mafia" showed up and began to taught The Pirate Princess, distracting her from the action. PP jumped down from the apron and tore into her arch nemesis Shirai. Referee Lee got caught up trying to separate the two. Meanwhile, Mio Shirai jumped into the ring to assist in a blatant triple-team against Diamond. Unabated, Summer Rae made her traditional fast count and new champions were crowned, just like that.

The Pirate Princess jumped into the ring just after the count. Her save attempt had fallen short. "The Bullet Club" ran out for the monumental beat down, but were cut off by Yumi Ohka and Yuki Miyazaki, who targeted "Best Friends."  A brawl ensued. Chelsea and The Pirate Princess regained their poise and battled off "The Bullet Club," but the titles were lost.

Miceli: "Once again, 'The Bullet Club' manages to steal another title!"

Young: "This is so ridiculous! Can anyone stop them?!"

Santos: "I don't know. If we can beat them, we'd better do it quickly, before they take every championship we have!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be back with more in just a moment."

Miceli: "We're back! Fans, we saw the beat down that 'Bullet Club' gave 'Queen Kongs' at the end of the program last week. Aja and Awesome have never been left laying like that in their careers. Stephanie McMahon petitioned for a championship rematch, but it wasn't necessary, because 'Queen Kongs' demanded to get 'Best Friends' back into the ring. GM AJ Lee has given this one a 'No Disqualification' stipulation, per 'Joshi mafia' request. She also has assigned Hifumi Saito to referee alongside Summer Rae! This is going to be a war!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Tag Team Championship ~ "No Disqualification" match ~ "Queen Kongs"--"Godmother" Aja Kong & Awesome Kong with "The Boss" Manami Toyota vs. "Best Friends"--Tsukasa Fujimoto & Arisa Nakajima with Stephanie McMahon, "Under Boss" Mio Shirai, & Yellow Barbie (Referees Summer Rae and Hifumi Saito)

Aja and Awesome beat Fujimoto and Nakajima from pillar to post. Aja warped both ladies with her trademark metal can, while Awesome "Speared" them into the ringside barricade. It looked as though the champions were toying with their challengers for most of the match. The end came when Awesome hit an "Implant Buster" on Fujimoto and made the cover. Referee Rae refused to count. Referee Saito slid into the ring. Referee Rae hit a "Legdrop" onto the back of Saito's head. Aja and awesome cornered Referee Rae. She begged for her life, but they inched closer and closer. Nakajima slammed a steel chair into Awesome Kong's back, but she turned and laughed. Awesome ran after Arisa, who bailed out of the ring. Meanwhile, Fujimoto recovered and came up behind Aja Kong, just as she was about the knock Referee Rae into the middle of next week, and scooped her from behind with a "Schoolgirl Roll."  Referee Rae was counting before Aja's shoulders were on the mat fully. After the fastest three-count in wrestling history (which took less than one full second on a slow-motion instant replay), we had new champions.

Miceli: "Are you kidding me?! Again?!"

Young: "This is a broken freaking record!"

Santos: "Unbelievable!"

Miceli: "Week after week, in both of the Richards owned promotions, 'The Bullet Club' keeps winning championships. The problem is that they have yet to win one clean!"

Young: "Something has to give!"

Santos: "We are in the 'do or die' stages of this fight now. If they take every championship we have, we may not be able to come back from it!"

Miceli: "We're praying that doesn't happen. We have to take a break. When we return, the Women's Championship is on the line! Stick around!"

Fans: "We're back! It's main event time! The champion is already out her with her entourage and her hand-picked referee. But, before we go to the match, GM AJ Lee is at ringside with a microphone."

AJ Lee: "We've seen two title changes tonight, both with questionable tactics from you, Summer Rae. While it's unfortunate that these two losing teams were blatantly cheated out of their respective titles, the referee's decision, however grossly dubious, stands. But, those two teams will receive mandatory rematches in the very near future. That brings me to this next match, the main event of the evening. Since Summer Rae will yet again be involved in this encounter, I have decided, because of the magnitude of the event itself, that I am assigning multiple referees to this match, not just two. Along with Summer Rae, I have two other referees assigned. In fact, here they are now."

The jumbo-tron lit up with this image from backstage:

Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa came running out in her referee's uniform. After her, some music hit that we had not heard in some time. It brought out the second referee:

Eve Torres, Jordan Richards' Administrative Assistant, and former Bantamweight Champion, came bounding to the ring with a huge smile on her face. The crowd was applauding thunderously for the revelation of these two as special referees.

AJ Lee: "I have one more referee in the back. She's ready to go, just in case she's needed in this match. Mio Shirai has been mandated to defend her championship today. Her opponent is yet to be named. But, I guess it's time to spill the beans. She's a former World Champion."

Kana's music hit to bring her out, wide-eyed, with a sinister face paint design that we had not previously seen:

AJ Lee: "Mio, if you're going to retain the championship here tonight, it's not going to be with Summer Rae's help! Let's get it on!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Women's Championship ~ "Under Boss" Mio Shirai with Stephanie McMahon & Yellow Barbie vs. Kana with "The Boss" Manami Toyota (Referees Summer Rae, Yuzuki Aikawa, Eve Torres, and a fourth official, if need be)

Mio was shocked to see her former "Sadistic Tails" partner across the ring from her. The last time they met was just after Mio joined "The Bullet Club." Kana has waited in the wings for her opportunity. She relished it, ripping into her former best friend. This was a titanic struggle. In terms of evil vs. evil, I suppose Kana represented the lesser of the two. She had the fans behind her, which is something that we have not seen. Mio more than held her own. Without "The Bullet Club's" assistance, she is one of the finest competitors in the world. With their assistance, she's practically unbeatable. twenty minutes in, a melee broke loose at ringside between McMahon, Yellow Barbie, and Toyota. Referees Aikawa and Torres were busy breaking them up, when NWA: HAWK superstar, and new member of "The Bullet Club," Sasha Banks, ran to ringside and hit the "Banks Statement" on Kana. Mio made the cover and Referee Rae went to impose her count. before she could begin counting, She looked up and saw the fourth referee skipping to the ring:

GM Lee had appointed herself a referee and bounded into the ring. She kicked Banks in the face and knocked her out of the ring. Referee Rae berated Lee. She was met with a hard slap across the face. AJ then dumped Rae over the top rope. Mio attempted an attack, but AJ ducked. Mio turned around into the "Kana Lock." Mio writhed in pain, but Kana held on. Mio nearly tapped, but Kana cinched in the hold near the ropes, allowing Shirai to throw a leg out and drape it over the bottom one. Lee broke the hold. Mio scrambled, but Kana followed her hard into the corner. Mio sidestepped and launched Kana over the turnbuckles and into the steel cornerpost head first. Kana bounced back into the ring lifelessly. Mio made the cover. AJ reluctantly counted, though she had a scowl on her face.

Winner and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales Women's Champion = Mio Shirai by pinfall in 21:39

Stephanie McMahon smirked triumphantly as AJ Lee raised Mio Shirai's hand. Trainers came to the ring to revive Kana, who was still unconscious.

Miceli: "That was a great match. Like it or not, Mio won, fair and square."

Young: "Phenomenal match. I just hated the ending!"

Santos: "Mio proved she can win on her own, although Summer Rae and Sasha Banks tried her best to giftwrap the match."

Miceli: "Fans, this has been a wild, wild ride over the first year of our program. Let's take a look back at all the excitement that has led us to this very moment!"

A video package aired chronicling the first year of Femme Fatales, including some footage from this episode.

Miceli: "Wow! There has been so much happen since last summer, it's amazing. Join us right back here next Thursday on TNT for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli. Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
